So I got this scent this summer too and it is thick and kinda cloying for hot summers cuz I do find it to be thick but now that’s it’s getting cooler here in New England states I wanna bathe in it! It’s still summery but creamy and warm and delicious especially at the dry down. Love it now ❤
@@FreshFindswithMe at the dry down it’s more of creamy coconut and the pineapple becomes more in the background, where as in the opening it’s pineapple forward….it’s so good
Hey Santa! Great video! My threshold for blind buying is lately 100-150. Especially if I've seen several positive fragrance reviews on it. But I've blind bought all of my Navitus fragrances just from seeing the reviews and wanting to support some of my favorite reviewers.
Right on time because I've not stopped thinking of this perfume. I know summer is winding down, but I've got to get my hands on it so i can enjoy it before the cold weather starts creeping in.😂❤
I sampled this one and definitely glad I did because I will not be buying the bottle. I did enjoy sunplosion although I don’t think it’s as unique and Malibu party in the bay is very very lime forward so will not be for everyone. Definitely sample and don’t blind but either.
Thanks for your review. I have a sample of this and there was some smell that I just couldn’t get past. I wanted to like this one so bad, but it just didn’t hit for me. I would like to hear reviews about other fragrances from this house.
I’d have to agree with you on the cloying effect with this one. I am away for work and have been trying some samples and this one is one of them. There is something in it that turns my stomach after a couple of hours! And I tried it again during a cool evening and it still turned my stomach so it’s a BIG NO for me at this time!!!
I feel seen! I have a decant, and it also kind of made my stomach turn a bit and thought maybe I received a bad decant...lol I'm interested in smelling a few others in this house.
Hi Santa! I 1000% agree with your overview on wearing LIP in the dead heat. It blooms for sure with heat and it lasts 6-7 hrs in hot weather. However, in spring when you are transitioning to summer is prime time but the longevity is shorter. I also like sunsplosion but it wasn't a love. MPITB is compared to creed vi water, but i preferred VIW much more because of the balance of the lime/coconut/rum.The lime note in MPITB was too much and had me smacking my lips because the lime was so pungent on me i could almost taste it.😂
Leisure in paradise smells divine but turned weird on me, tried multiple times but had to sell my bottle so sad cause in the air on others divine but for me just didn’t work. Never had that happen.
Hey Santa. 🩵 My threshold is $200. Surprisingly, I blind buy my fragrances most of the time. I haven’t hated anything. I also haven’t taken anything back. I’ve loved every single blind buy purchase.
Hey Santa!❤ love the lipstick color on you. Face is giving.. hair is giving .. 10’s across the board!😍

Yes it will work now that it is cooling off. Love the New England weather. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Would you say the dry down is more fruits or coconut/sandalwood for you?

@@allarotar2206you just influenced me! Lol. I think I ‘need’ it!! 😂 Thank you for the additional info!!
i’m right there with you on that blind buy threshold…now. i used to be wayyyy more reckless in my perfume youth 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for sharing Santa ☺️
hahahaa we have calmed down over the years. You are so welcome!

See you did right! I definitely learned my lesson.

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Ha! That cloying effect, I got it too a few days ago. It was really hot and humid, it kinda smelled funny. I wonder if it’s the papaya.
I think it is the papaya

I have yet to pick up any Simone Andreoli fragrances but I really would like to try leisure in paradise and Malibu party in the bay😊
Thank you, I have a large decant and have to say I agree with you, not for me in the hot heat...
Glad you got a decant to test it. Thanks for sharing.
It smelled synthetic to my nose! Virgin Island water smells more natural
I prefer Sunsplosion over Leisure in Paradise
Thanks for sharing
Leisure in paradise smells divine but turned weird on me, tried multiple times but had to sell my bottle so sad cause in the air on others divine but for me just didn’t work. Never had that happen.
Malibu party at the bay is one of my favorites summertime loves so good but you have to like citrus
This was unexpected. I thought for sure you were going to rave about it.
I wasn't a fan of this. I prefer Sunslplosion or Malibu Party in the Bay. They both wear fresher and brighter
Nice! Thanks for sharing
